Phakic ICL – a solution for high myopia and thin corneas

Phakic ICL is a procedure that implants a specialized intraocular lens into the eye to correct refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism. The lens is positioned between the iris and the natural crystalline lens, allowing light to focus accurately on the retina and significantly improving visual clarity.

Unlike traditional laser procedures that reshape the cornea, Phakic ICL works by adding a lens inside the eye. Because of this principle, the procedure does not damage the cornea and is especially suitable for patients with thin corneas or high levels of myopia.

According to clinical data, this procedure can correct myopia ranging from -3.0 to -20.0 diopters and can also treat various degrees of astigmatism. In addition to providing effective vision correction, Phakic ICL is also highly regarded for its short procedure time and relatively quick recovery. The surgery typically takes about 20–30 minutes, after which patients can resume light daily activities while following their doctor’s postoperative instructions.

Thanks to these advantages, Phakic ICL is becoming an increasingly popular choice for people seeking to improve their vision but who are not suitable candidates for conventional laser procedures.

When should you consider Phakic ICL surgery?

When should you consider Phakic ICL surgery?

Phakic ICL surgery is often considered for patients with:

• Severe myopia or high astigmatism
• Thin corneas that are not suitable for laser surgery
• Stable vision for at least one year
• Age between approximately 21 and 45 years

However, determining the most suitable treatment requires a comprehensive eye examination and direct consultation with an ophthalmologist. Every eye has a unique structure, so the choice of treatment must always be based on detailed clinical evaluation.

A clearer vision for a more confident life
